Floyd Mayweather ignited a firestorm when he said he believes he’s a better fighter than Muhammad Ali. It was a big statement but understandable when you consider Floyd is an undefeated and current boxer who’s supposed to have a confident mindset. But then… former heavyweight champion George Foreman agreed with Mayweather! Foreman said Mayweather was “pound for pound” better than both him and Ali. Mayweather has fought in four different weight classes but of course has never gone up to heavyweight. In any event, Ali heard the chatter and had a reply for everybody.
Posted to his Twitter account was a statement reminding everyone that HE is the GREATEST.

He probably didn’t write it himself but don’t forget, Ali is the OG of trash talk! Muhammad Ali was not only famous for his superior boxing skills, but also for his bravado, his confidence and his ability to mess with the minds of his competitors.
He’ll always be the greatest to me.
Here’s an old quote:
“I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.” – Muhammad Ali
